Well, not aware of people jumping off bridges, so I'd say freaking out claim is a bit over top. I mean I don't think buying truckloads of tp is freaking out, just stupid. I do think eliminating mass gatherings is prudent to slow spread down & not overwhelm med facilities.

We can agree to disagree, but I'll bet a dollar to a donut the media is going to face a serious backlash over the way they have conducted themselves the past month. They won't ever admit they were wrong, they just won't do it again when the next pandemic hits.

So far, most of the orgs that have shutdown aren't losing income or significant income to shutdown.

-Schools. Higher Ed and public PreK-12, everybody gets paid regardless.

-NCAA/NBA/All revenue sports. TV revenues more than pay the salaries of all that are involved. (I'm not talking concession workers or secondary businesses reliant on the events taking place, they are sol) I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the tv rights were paid in advance of the season/tournaments.


It's an easier decision when everybody gets paid.




How do you meet payroll without income?

Here's where the rubber meets the road and ticket sales,butts in seats, directly effects the operation:


Actors’ Equity: “Uncharted Territory” For Union Members As Broadway Goes Dark
actors-equity-logo-featured.jpg

https://deadline.com/2020/03/actors...loyment-contracts-salary-1202881706/#comments
Actors’ Equity, the union representing actors and stage managers, told members today that Broadway’s month-long shutdown is “uncharted territory,” and that discussions with employers about salary payments and employment contracts are ongoing.

“With today’s news regarding theaters on Broadway and beyond going dark, we have entered uncharted territory,” Equity writes in a string of seven tweets (read it below). “We know that this is an uncomfortable place to be if you’re an Equity member, and we hear you loud and clear. One of the most asked questions is ‘will I be paid?'”

Equity, for now, doesn’t offer a firm or complete answer to that question. “We’ve been engaged in constant conversations with employers over the last few weeks on your behalf regarding your employment contract,” the union tells its members. “Those conversations will continue and we will keep you updated as we know more.”
Teachers assistants, custodians, office and support staff, substitutes won’t be paid unless they work.
 
Italy's healthcare is better than ours you say right after going on a post spree about how bad things are over there...

Italy..."Come here, we're better than America...especially in health care"

Okay...sure...
That was not a legit piece on healthcare and Booty knows it.

This President said stricter borders and entry in to country...over 3 years ago.

This President ran on getting rid of red tape.

This President ran on bringing industry and supply chain back to this country

This President has questioned what kind of diseases are coming in unchecked into this country via loose border security.

This President has pointed out shit hole densely populated areas and all the health issues .
 
For those who insist on being political with this virus, this is for you:

you politicize this and literally everything goes through your distorted lens mistaken view of reality.

there’s nothing you type that isn’t a psychological projection of your own pathology.

and yes, I take this virus seriously, stopped doing unnecessary things like going to the gym 2 weeks ago. You people have lost your minds over the course of the last 3 years in probably one of the most remarkable plagues of mass psychosis and the madness of crowds the world has ever seen

This president dis-assemble the very team of pandemic experts we are in such great need of now and months ago when it all started.

This president did that because Obama had put these precautions in place and this racist president has tried to erase all things Obama even and mostly at the expense of the American people.

I am convinced if this orange monkey served you one of his fresh orange turds you would smile and ask for whipped cream to top it off.

Where's the backlash come from? The media?

Lol, looked at ignored content and my god Levi is a nutjob.

"I dont wish harm on the president but wouldn't it be cool if trump died"

Good heavens.

Trump broke you dude. Get some help for your TDS.

the only regret I have from my decision to ignore Levi is the comic relief. It’s also fascinating to watch an already crazy person descend further into madness.

You have no idea if there's being exposures prevented, and you never will. That's the point.
Yea, I do have an idea or I wouldn't say it - unless you're taking my utterings as being from a blathering idiot. I'd be fine with that. But regardless, then you have no idea that they're not being prevented, and you never will.

I don't think you're an idiot, but people are still gathering in large numbers all over the country. I think it was knee jerk reaction that will have next to no effect on the over all total.

It’s not about controlling the overall total - it’s about spreading it out over a longer period so that hospitals can deal with it. In Italy they are simply choosing who they can and can’t save at this point. We don’t want that happening here.

It's their parent Alphabet. And it's a tool not a site. Technically not Google building a website but plenty close enough.

I saw several fake news gotcha stories over the same thing. And they wonder why we call them fake news

Like I posted with examples earlier, if it's that infectious it's way beyond flattening the curve already.

Nearly every year a viral infection spreads like wildfire (enter the phrase going viral into pop culture). People go about their lives. Had they not created this intense panic, there wouldn't even be a curve they need to somehow magically flatten.
